  This isn't about selling widgets. It's about understanding the strategic value Schneider Electric technology can bring to an organization's business rather than just the technology itself. The candidate who has found their greatest success managing relationships to influence client strategy in ways favorable to Schneider Electric will thrive in this larger, more consequential forum. We don't just sell hardware, we sell a customizable, IoT-enabled platform that also includes software, cloud analytics, and services. Technical knowledge may win a project, but Account and Relationship Management skills will drive continued success here.
